### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Amazing Buddhist Commentary
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2016*

An amazing clear concise development of the Mahayana path.  I love Santideva's work and this text not only is an amazing commentary but also makes so much of the teachings practical with methods to lead to realization.  So many concepts that had been just words are now becoming something that is realized into the midstream.  This is an amazing teacher - much like Choygam Trungpa.  Anyone who listens to charlatan that criticize either of these teachers just has bad karma methinks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Deep!
  

*by L***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019*

This book is actually a commentary to Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of LIfe, which I would also reccommend to read along with this. The ninth chapter of this book is the most famous and profound and Geshe Kelsang Gyatso makes it very practical. I've read and studied this book many times and there is always more to learn and discover. Enjoy your time with this book!

    CLEAR, COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SHANTIDEVA'S PRECIOUS TEXT GUIDE TO THE BODHISATTVA'S WAY OF LIFE
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2006*

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has written an incredible commentary to Guide to the Bodhisattva's way of life, extracting the essential meaning of Shantideva's precious text and making it applicable to Western practioners in today's modern world.Geshe Kelsang explains the complete path to enlightenment focusing specific chapters on how to successfully cultivate peaceful states of mind that ensure long-lasting happiness, and how to effectively eradicate negative states of mind that cause suffering and harm to others.He explains in detail how to cultivate bodhichitta, the spontaneous mind that wishes for all living beings to be free from suffering and why that mind is so important for ourselves and others.Geshe Kelsang also describes how to overcome our attachment and increase our love as well as other virtuous minds such as: patience , effort, concentration, and wisdom. He also gives an in-depth analysis of what the ultimate nature of reality is and why if we understand it, we can experience unlimited happiness.This is an advanced text on Buddhist thought and meditation for the serious spiritual practitioner interested in deepening his/her insight into some of the more challenging tenents of Buddhism.  It is incredibly inspiring and demonstrates clearly that the author Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is an extraordinary being.
